Yes, but you need to set up the CTM to draw the layers in the right
place. To be clear, you're asking the views'  layers to
-renderInContext:, not the views themselves.

We use -renderInContext: to draw entire layer trees into one big
context. You obviously aren't doing the same thing, but the principle
is identical. You might want to look into our CALayer extension method
for doing so:
